80In the first place, as regards judicial review of the conditions referred to in the preceding paragraph, it should be borne in mind that, pursuant to Article 18(4) of Regulation No 1924/2006, the Commission was to take a decision on the applicant’s applications, taking into account, in addition to EFSA’s opinion, any relevant provisions of EU law and other legitimate factors relevant to the matter under consideration. As already stated (see paragraph 30 above), the Commission must be recognised as enjoying a broad discretion in an area which entails political, economic and social choices on its part, and in which it is called upon to undertake complex assessments. The legality of a measure adopted in that area can be affected only if the measure is manifestly inappropriate having regard to the objective which the competent institution is seeking to pursue (see, to that effect, judgments in Alliance for Natural Health and Others, cited in paragraph 30 above, EU:C:2005:449, paragraph 52 and the case-law cited, and in Health Food Manufacturers’ Association and Others v Commission, cited in paragraph 30 above, EU:T:2015:375, paragraph 65 and the case-law cited).
